tae kwon do or other martial arts, anyone?
I started tae kwon do last month, after taking a women's self defense class at the same place throughout the fall and I've found it to be the best exercise choice I've made.
Aside from learning something new everyday, the workout is intense (4 weeks later, and I'm still sore after (almost)every workout) and I've noticed a HUGE change in my body!!! (muscles in weird places, like my armpit!)
I also really like the amount of support and comraderie in the group and from the instructors.
I was a little intimidated at first. I went to one place and watched a class and was totally put off by the level of physical activity, thinking, there is NO way I could do that! The second place seemed a lot more accomodating and a little less competitive.
No weight loss since I started, but a noticeable change in my size and in both the appearance and feel of my muscles. Plus, I learned how to punch something without breaking my hand!
Anyone else out there who's as pumped about this as I am?
I always found the gym to be a fairly unsatisfying experience, and I'm really glad to have finally found something that gets the job done and is fulfilling.
When I do go to the gym now, I have different goals in mind, and it's really nice to be having something to be working towards...
